Obviously physicality and height is overrated in Scotland but CB is probably the exception to that you need both and it looks like King will have both to complement his natural ability. Hopefully we see him get some game time this season. There is no use in continually loaning our players out to dross Scottish Championship teams it rarely works out for us. Should be starting in the cup against Stirling. GersInCanada 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Some great work going on behind the scenes at Ibrox of which this is just one example. Fantastic signing now go live up to the potential you've shown us so far young man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Maestro 11,218 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Weirdly selling Patterson will probably be a big selling point for youths staying at or joining us now. Ethical agents will potentially look at us as an easier option to break through to the first team before moving on to the richer clubs on much bigger deals joining their senior squads.

I think young players should be careful using Patterson's situation. Patterson was an internationally capped defender who couldn't get first team football yet went to an EPL club at 20 for a club record-breaking fee. I highly doubt that will ever happen again or become the norm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. He starts most weeks if he has his level of ability in just about every other position in our side. J-Maestro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chineseboy 1,563 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have been out the loop as just realised that Nathan Coombes left. Gutted to hear that as thought he was a great player. JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 At the risk of being accused of putting the thread back on topic I see Leon King has been promoted to the first team squad from the B team, wonder who will move into the B team squad. The opportunity of training with the first team and the odd bit of first team football probably had a fair bit to do with him signing for us again instead of being swayed by the approach from Villa. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkness or one of the Ewens probably. It wasn't just Villa who were after him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a lot of admirers down south so if he can get some game time and another new contract in the next 2 years he’ll likely get a big move & big fee. Do you think he is close to being ready to seriously challenge for a place in the team. Or at least close to being ready? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a max number of appearances they can make for the senior team and still play for the Bs though. 4 comes to mind, but might be wrong.

I don't know what isn't making sense about saying that a player has left the b team so will need replaced by someone else, if you're unable to understand that then I don't know what to say.

NI 903 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 That's so beautiful to see. I hope we'll see him more next season, deserves his chance and seems ready to make the next step. Goofy The Scot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
